Trivia / Samurai Jack - S5 E4: "XCV"

• Schedule Slip: Despite being advertised to air on April 1st at 11:00 P.M., it didn't air due to execs deciding to play a new episode of Rick and Morty on loop as an April's Fool Joke, much to many fan's annoyance. What made this so irritating is that the television schedule listings stayed the same even though this joke bled into Toonami (the same goes for both the 8:00 P.M. advance airing and 11:30 P.M. encore/Toonami block airing of Dragon Ball Super). Even more Egregious is seeing the TV listings for these delayed premieres next week listed as "repeat" instead of "new" like no one in charge of the TV listings picked up on this joke and knew to revise the listing information, as it could have thrown viewers off who go by these listings to tell if the programs are hot off the press or reruns and base their decisions on watching them or not by this information. However, one good thing is that it generated another week of publicity and pushed the conclusion to the third week of May instead of the second, squeezing a little more life out of the run- even more with Toonami marathoning the series post-finale to close out the month on a high note.
• Trailers Always Spoil: Averted, previews for the episode avoid revealing that Ashi survived the fall. The TV schedule program description, however, was loose-lipped.
